Cashmere Stole

These sumptuous Cashmere Stoles are woven in Scotland using age-old techniques. The process begins with the purest waters from Scotland’s lochs and rivers—a time-honoured technique used to create a fabric with the softest touch. The bristles of dried thistles and a fine mist of loch water are then used to bring out a unique glossiness. An indulgence that is hard to beat, these stoles are the ultimate gift or a luxurious finishing touch for the bedroom or living room.

Keep your recipient in mind. It may sound obvious, but it’s easy to get carried away and end up buying a gift more to your personal taste than whomever you are buying for.

Get creative. Show that you have put some thought into your gift and that you care enough to have chosen something with that personal touch from you. Creativity goes a long way so why not choose something a little unexpected?

Find out what they need. Sometimes a simple solution is to buy a gift that is just what they have been looking for or didn’t know that they really needed.

Look for a combination of comfort, craftsmanship and a touch of luxury to find a classic gift that will put a smile on the face of whomever you are buying for.

Provenance

We believe at Josephine Home that the journey of the product, what inspired it and how it is made, are equally important. Starting small with a made-to-measure service, our aim has always been to produce the very best quality in the world for each of our products, in each of their categories. Through this personal and focused approach, we had the opportunity to work closely, on a small scale, with the very best craftsmen in England and Continental Europe.

On the strength of our bespoke work, we realised that if we could do this service well, we could do anything. The experience we have gathered over these early years has meant that we now know the hallmarks of a great product. We believe that bespoke can never be a “quick fix” but instead it should be, and is, a journey.

For Josephine Home, provenance is about the combination of love, care and level of expertise that goes into creating each and every one of our products. All of our craftsmen have many years and often centuries of accumulated expertise at our (and your) service and what sets them apart is the unique combination of skill, passion and pride. We work closely with every workshop to develop products exclusive to Josephine Home.

How should I care for my bed linen?

For generations, laundering, whitening and darning bed linen were vital rituals in the cycle of life associated with fine linen. Today, a few simple rules will ensure you get the best out of your bed linen.

Firstly, wash at the lowest temperature (40-60 degrees) without filling the drum too tightly as water must be able to circulate to ensure a thorough wash. Soft water also makes a huge difference to the feel of your linen, so it is really worth investing in a water softener if you live in a hard water area.

Secondly, always iron sheets while they are still slightly damp for an easy glide and a perfect finish. Finally, store well away from any dust – ideally in a separate linen cupboard, or drawer, perhaps adding an evocative scent to infuse the linen. The result will be long lasting, crisply ironed, freshly scented linen, which will make it a treat to get into bed every night. Given that we spend up to a third of our lives in bed, it just has to be worth it.

How do I care for my towels?

Your Josephine Home towels should ideally be washed on cold before the first use to soften the fibres. Once in use, they should be washed with whites only at 40 degrees to keep them white and fresh for as long as possible. They will however easily withstand a 60 degrees wash which is essential when a deep clean is required.

Tumble dry is essential for a lovely fluffy finish. However, if you are lucky enough to be able to air dry them outside on a line, this will give them the irreplaceable smell of fresh air with the slightly rougher finish of old fashioned towels.

Never use fabric conditioner on towels, bath mats or bathrobes as it will coat the fibres and make them less absorbent.
